ok.. so i am very confused on the spaying issue.
i went through many many topics trying to find my answers, but i couldn't find EXACTLY what i wanted.
i read aqua's topic that talked about the health risks and that got me even MORE confused.
I wasn't sure what age that a dog needed to be spayed. Also do you spay them before or AFTER their first heat? I have heard to let them go through one and then have them spayed... but then i have heard to spay them BEFORE their first heat. :?
I want her to be spayed because I think it would be best for her and us. Why make her go through that if she doesn't need to? But my husband wants to get all the health checks done on her, see if she meets standard, and all the other long list of stuff you need to do to see if we can breed her. But honestly I would rather not. At the very beginng before I started this forum I had considered it. But after reading and learning so much about them I have changed my tune.
He picks at me because I am always talking about boxers now. He said I turned into a "boxer nut". its his fault because he wanted to get a boxer. NOW I want to get another one for a playmate when she is older!
Sorry for the bunny trail there... I just don't know what to do! :-??
